Exactly one attribution identifier.
All conversions must be matched to existing activities by specifying the floodlightActvityId and floodlightConfigurationId values (Google documentation). These will appear as required mappings.
Offline conversions must also be attributed to a specific user through one of the supported methods, so you must add a mapping to exactly one of the following fields:

Display Click ID
When using the Encrypted User ID, Encrypted User ID Candidates, you must specify Encryption Information in the sync's advanced configuration. See Google's documentation for more information.
